Kansas Symphony to Begin Oratorio Program Tonight
Tradition of Work Holds That Audience Stand During Singing of Chorus
The overture by the University symphony orchestra of more than fifty pieces will open the presentation of Handel's Messiah, given by the Lawrence Choral Union in connection with the 2015 Robinson gymnasium at 8 tonight.
More than four hundred voices are participating in the chorus this year. Under the direction of D. M. Swarthro, the students learn the chorus, more than half of which is composed of University students, has worked for several months on the oratorio, together with Elgar's "King Olaf," to be presented Thursday
Four Soloists Sing
The solosists for the program tonight are Miss Trane Peabody, soprano; Mrs. Alice Moncrief, contralto; Ms. Marilyn Cornert, and W. B. Downing baritone.
The Messiah was written by George Frederick Handel and was first performed at Covent Garden, London, in 1753. He would sit at its head, arose during the singing of the "Halleluja" chorus and remained standing until it was finished. This custom is traditionally known as the "Hallelujah" in England but also in this country.
**Chorus to Be Given**
The famous choruses from the Meshushi school, the ballad chorus, and the final amen chorus, will all be presented.
The churches are closing their evening services, and are asking their congregations to tid in this evening of religious music.

Handel Mastered Music in Spite of father's Effort to Prevent It
Handel, the author of the great Messiah,
masted music over the objections of his
father, who being a rising man despipped
musicians and tried to repress his son's genius.
The Duke of Weissenfels, after hearing the child play on the organ in his chapel, persuaded the father to let such talent be duly cultivated. The young prodigy was placed under Zachau, principal organist of Halle; he was soon a master on the organ, harpischord, violin, and oboe; every week he had also had to compose a motet for the Sunday service.
He went to Hamburg, and found employment in the opera orchestra, soon coming to the front. Handel improved his vocal style by composing operas.
The greatest, the best known, the most beloved of all concert oratorios is Handel's Messiah. It was composed between August 22 and September 14 in 1741 while Handel was preparing for his Irish journey. The first percussionist he played with was Jeremiah 18, 1743, was for a charity. For ten years Handel always gave it for a charity, and with charitable purposes it has ever been connected.
After the first rehearsal it was described as
the finest composition of Musick that ever
would be heard.
Like bits of down
"We may agree with objectors that so long a series of lyric pieces with but one narrative passage and no dramatic interest, may engender dullness, enhances by Handel's overlong continuance in quadruple measure during the first and second stanzas of textio, textitio not always well arranged, attempting to include too many themes, and straying into irrelevant matter, while slurring over Our Lord's crucifixion, death, and burial in one single line of recitative. We may find some numbers weak or unsuitable, yet with all these deductions we must pronounce the theme of our work as masterpieces," says Henry Davey in an account of the masterpieces of music.
The entire production is one of lofty power and grandeur of style, simple melodic, and with a structural breadth of the Handelian genius which unites to form a choral work of the highest type, one which places its composer among the greatest masters.
Handel himself said of its composition, "I thought I saw all the heavens opened and the great God Himself." In the final AMEN, where Handel reveals to us that highest and rarest musical beauty, which consists in the fusing of the melodies, harmonies, and rhythms of several voice-parts, every individual note being necessary to the whole composition, drawing our thoughts above the sublimary into regions where abstract beauty alone exists.
At the first performance of the Messiah in London, when the Hallelujah Chorus rang out, the auditors, the king included, rose with one accord and established the English tradition that the chorus must be listened to while standing.
Lies out of book
From day's bright wings,
The cloud puffs skim the depths of midnight's sky.
They flee in fear,
Sweet by the fanning vintages of the wight.
To-morrow morn I'm to be born;
Thy counsel, I entreat thee."
THE PLACE TO BE BORN
I met last night a wandring sprite,
Flying the wide world over,
"God greet thee, man," the sprite began,
"Right glad I am to meet thee;
Prepared for birth on God's dear earth, A body-seeking rover.
"Asia I seamed and Europe-land—
Sierra I should be followe
Thou's travelled wide; help me decide
The best place to be born in."
"Dear sprite," I said, "I praise thy head;
Far more than rich rogansana
Thy bitmap worth; thou't find on earth
No better place than Kansas.
—William Herbert Carruth.

Carruth Was True Kansan
Professor Carruth should long be remembered for the generous spirit of devotion that he gave to the five thousand students that passed through his classes in the University. He gave all he had to them and their work, giving them the interests and their welfare was his welfare.
He went into their individual troubles and problems, encouraging them in their scholastic troubles, mapping out courses of study for them, comforting them in their personal affairs and assisted many a working student to secure employment while attending the University.
He enjoyed singing and often sang before small audiences accompanied by his wife. He was kind in disposition and always tolerant of the students. It may have been that the reason he was always interested in the student's affairs was that he had been a working student himself while in school and he appreciated their handicaps.
At one time he clashed with the athletic officials at the University. His first trouble came when he was officiating at an athletic meet, and then the coach made him be made was looked upon as a bit partisan and troubled developed. The real clash came through his stand for clean athletics and clean methods of competition in which the department at that time seemed to be at variance.
Professor Carruth was also a great lover of flowers, especially of the redbud and the wild crane. He had studied botany some in his university and many shrubs and plants around his home.
Photoplay Instruction Is Given to Students at Columbia University
Two reels of movies were taken recently on the stage of a New York theater for the benefit of the class in photoyllustration at Columbia University. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer loaned one of its best directors, and close-ups, long shots, fade-ins, dissolves, and other intricacies of the motion picture were all carefully demonstrated.
"Play-by-play" description was broadcasted to listening radio fans, while Kleg lights and a select cast filmed scenes from "Betty, Behave," a forthcoming varsity show. The picture will be used in connection with the production of the musical comedy next month.
Actors in Moscow Theater Live Parts They Portray
because the actors of the Moscow Art theater live their parts, that theater has become the master theater of Europe, according to Edward Hullinger, foreign correspondent for the United Press and a former student of the University of Kansas.
When Stanistaski, the director of the famous Russian theater, underkilled 25 years ago the development of a new perfection in dramatic art, he began by studying fundamentals. His first step in that direction consisted of a survey of all the plays and the star actors of that day. This was made in an attempt to understand fundamental quality which made the stars great.
Following out this premise an entirely new system for training actors was introduced. Instead of taking the actors to the stage imitatively, "round table" procedure was followed.
As a result of his research and investigations the Russian director came to the conclusion that the really great stars were great to that extent to which they lived their natrs.
First the situation was examined. "What would be the reaction of an individual if he himself is in such and such a proleague and a person who has been working so much would be worked on until the natural reactions of the actor in question would conform to the reactions which the author expected the actor to perform?"
Not until all such elements had been worked over in problematic fashion would the actor be assigned to a definite part and allowed to practise on the stage.
Even in the training for social graces and technical refinement as it pertains to the stage, work was begun on the extreme opposite end. Instead of telling the actor to make a certain type of gesture, the gesture as it was used in life was studied.
In order, for example, to develop the proper technique in carrying a glass of hot tea across the stage this act was performed. Next the glass was emptied and the actor required to repeat the performance in a fashion which would give the illusion of a person carrying glass. The glass was taken away with the requirements as the illusion be thereby in no way lessened.
Thus by going from the general to the specific situation, by going from real life to an acted representation of that life a certain naturalness was developed in all the actors who came to them stairs in their own field and made the Moscow theater the master theatre of Europe.
Our Grown-up Children
Just because a man is a senior in college, or because a woman is within a few months of attaining her bachelor's degree isn't any indication that either has grown up.
Not a bit of it. You should ask the ice cream cone man, if you don't agree. When he made his first spring trip up the Hill the other day, he had a tinkling halfway across the campus.
Future congressmen, presidents, and executives of world affairs went away from the wagon, contentedly and blissfully licking chocolate ice cream cones.
The white wagons, with their red wheels,
steigh bells, and one horse power, have become
the new supernatural machines.
